I would be careful how I describe this. It sounds like 1) he was never inside your abode and 2) you knocked him out as he was fleeing.

Sometimes criminals actually sue over this and even win. And there is a decent chance he won't be prosecuted...so there goes that part of your legal defense if he does sue.

That being said, play up how you were frightened and how fight or flight rage took over when you retell this to authorities.

And honestly, you did what all of wish we could have done. Just be careful.

I spent a summer there in late 1980s (yeah, I'm old). I only learned the essential phrases of please, thank you, hello, and Where's the bathroom. Fortunately most Koreans learn English in high school. Though some of it is as bad as our high school French.

That being said, good luck with learning the language. I understand there are only 24 letters and they are always pronounced the same way. So you can learn how to pronounce things without knowing what you are saying.

After Gaston, the army Corp of engineers pretty much said there is no pump system that would be able to manage a foot of rain being funneled down into the bottom in an hour. But politics being what they are more money was spent

I really don't know what is happening in the pic. I just wanted to chime in on Gaston flooding.

I know of (a friend of a friend) who had the misfortune of changing in his car for an after work run and got caught and prosecuted because there had been a series of car masturbators in the park recently.

The fact that he was a different race did not stop the prosecutor from trying to pin the whole string of incidents on him. He lost his security clearance at work as a result of his bad decision to do a quick change in a corner of the parking lot.
